My daughter is no longer a baby. She just turned 9 last November 10. Time flies … if there is a chance to turn back time, I would love to. I feel there were many things we didn’t do for the last years. Unfortunately, what I’m thinking is impossible to happen so have to move forward and see what this year would offer for my daughter. Hope she will do many new things. Hope things that we didn’t do for the last 8 years will happen this year and the coming years. Above all, I pray that God will continue to bless and guide her while growing up.

Anyway, I didn’t prepare for a huge celebration. We just had dinner in the house. I cooked tuna carbona. I learned this simple pasta food from my sister and it turned out luscious. I roasted turkey in the oven, thanks to my brother for the turkey. He is raising 6 turkeys and we need to roast one for this day. So sad for this turkey but we enjoyed eating it. For my daughter to feel her 9th birthday, I bought cake in Red Ribbon. Happy birthday to you my dearest Kyla. Sorry if you can’t get everything but I’m glad you understand the situation.

Today my daughter celebrated her 5th birthday in school. Actually her birthday is tomorrow (Nov 10) but since its Saturday and no classes so I decided to do this today. As I said there’s no huge celebration just a simple treat to her classmates. Initial plan was to order food at Jollibee but 2 days before her celebration I changed my mind. Instead we just cooked at home anyway I only prepared spaghetti, BBQ, cup cake and some goodies. Fried chicken is very common when there is birthday celebration at school so instead of having it, I chose to have pork BBQ for the kids and her teachers.

I didn’t order her birthday cake in Goldilocks or Red Ribbon instead got it from local bakeshop in our place. Actually, my first plan was cup cake only but changed my mind again when I saw cute Barbie doll cake in their catalogue. The other costumer convinced me to order Barbie doll cake because she had this Barbie cake before and was satisfied. Well, I can’t deny it’s very cute, nice and beautiful so I chose this cake also.

Photo above is daughter’s Barbie doll cake isn’t it beautiful? This barbie cake and 15 cup cakes cost only Php 800. Barbie doll gown is edible, the upper part is icing and the lower part is the cake coated with icing. The bakeshop has Barbie dolls available to use for this cake but I don’t like their Barbie doll so I brought my daughter’s owned Barbie doll.

Thank you to my sister in Canada because she gave money to me which I used in my daughter’s birthday in school.
